On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh. I'm terribly sorry,” I said. “That’s all right. Please excuse me too; I wasn't even
26____ you. I wish I didn’t hurt you.”
We were very
27 . We said good-bye and went on our way.
But at home we often

“ That’s okay. Mom. I
34 you anyway.”
I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word
35 like this: (F) ather (A) nd (M) other, (I) (L) ove (Y) ou!
